Hi, I’m Sam, a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). With a Masters in Counselling, I specialize in working with children and youth, helping them navigate life’s challenges and build resilience through a holistic approach to therapy with an emphasis on nature-informed practices. I believe that the natural world can provide a powerful context for self-discovery and growth, and draw on a range of techniques to support my clients’ journeys. Additionally, I have many years of experience working as a teacher in schools, which has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges facing young people today. With a warm and collaborative approach, I empower my clients to explore their emotions, develop practical tools for coping, and achieve their goals. When I’m not working you can find me hiking in the mountains, paddling around bodies of water, or hanging out with my dog. I look forward to working with you!
